Ingredients
-
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 (10 ounce) package Andes mint baking chips
Preparation
-
Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F
Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl; set aside.
Cream butter, shortening, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl.
Add vanilla extract and eggs, beating well.
Switch from an electric mixer to a sturdy spoon, and gradually mix in the flour mixture.
Stir in mint chips. The dough will be VERY stiff.
Drop by well-rounded teaspoons (I use a cookie scoop) onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
Bake for 10 minutes, until centers are set.
Remove immediately (be careful, so cookies do not fall apart) to wire racks to cool completely.
